I was wondering if I could get an opinion on the grain bill for a Dark Starr Stout clone... This is based on the following description from the Starr Hill Website:

Dry Irish Stout

Starr Hill’s Dark Starr Stout has won more national and international awards than any other Dry Irish Stout in the country. Brewed with roasted barley, and with hints of coffee and dark chocolate, it packs a robust taste into a surprisingly light body. This signature brew pours like velvet and drinks like a slice of grandma’s pumpernickel bread.

Cal,

Did your brew this? I'm curious how it came out. Dark Starr is an utterly fantastic Stout.
